IT MAKES ALL THE BHOYS SING

Professionally, the Celtic star has been back to his best this season.

Injury problems are behind him and he’s enjoying his football again.

He explained: “My form at Celtic has been like the form of the team. My first six months here were tough because I didn’t play that many games, but the season after that I had one of my best ever seasons.

“We made it to the last 16 of the Champions League and we won the Double also.

“Then I had to have ops on my hips, which wasn’t good.

“I missed half of that season, came back and then hurt my ankle which cost me five or six months.

“Injuries can happen to anyone but when you’ve been out with something once, it’s difficult when something happens a second time.

“It was a struggle for me but this season I feel good again. I’m now able to play 90 minutes, which is why I had surgery on my hips. Before the op, in the last 15 minutes of matches my hips were killing me.”

This season couldn’t have gone much better for Celtic as a club.

With Brendan Rodgers in charge, it’s been a sensational campaign almost from day one.

Lustig added: “So far, so good. We still have some big games coming up, so it’s not the end of the season yet. But things are looking good for us.

“It was always going to take a little bit of time when the gaffer came in.

“We had that early game in Gibraltar which wasn’t the best.

“The manager had been working with the players for only a couple of weeks. It was difficult.

“But since then it’s been brilliant. The domestic football has been great and we put up some decent performances in Europe as well.

“The good thing is that it doesn’t matter if we’re playing Manchester City or Partick Thistle.

“We have the same focus and always want to win. With a couple of games left in the season, we want to win them all but we have to take each game individually.

“We know we are favourites in every game and that makes it hard but we will do the right things.”

The news that Rodgers has signed a new four-year deal came as a huge boost to everyone at the club.

Lustig added: “It was brilliant for everyone. He is a top manager and there is a lot of money available down south for guys like him.

“So it’s a massive for the club that he’s signed a new contract.

“To know Brendan and his staff have a new four-year deal is fantastic.

“The gaffer is a big Celtic supporter and it’s like he’s brought the club to life again.

“Maybe not back to life, but last season was tough for us.

“We won the league but we felt we could play better and do better in all the tournaments.

“The fans are all very excited, too.

“When the gaffer signed, we all saw how the club sold a lot of season tickets.”
